Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
We are an elementary school that uses an inquiry-based curriculum. Our students learn that it is important to be curious about the world around them. Students play a huge role in the direction of our lessons.
Our students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with 100% of our students receiving free lunch.
Our students also come from various cultural backgrounds. Although diverse in their backgrounds, they come together to learn how to become inquiring citizens of the world.
Our school strives to empower compassionate global thinkers who ask questions, and take action.
My Project
The Sharpie highlighters and post its will help my students look at a text CLOSEly. They will be able to color-code and highlight the important parts, vocabulary, connections, evidence, and questions they have as they read. The post its will enable students to write notes in the margins. The pencil pouches will help students keep track of their CLOSE reading tool kit.
My students will become detectives as they read CLOSEly.
They will use the tools in their tool CLOSE reading tool kit to look for clues, gather evidence, and ask questions. These "detective" skills will help them to become better readers.
